| User ReviewAnthony CAn Australian classic in my book but it really flopped horribly. Soundtrack by Severed Heads. Perfect! |
| User ReviewAdam LFunniest movie I have ever seen..gotta watch it. |
| User ReviewNeil Usuch as great, disturbing but wonderful film. |
| User ReviewMarty Bthe score from Severed Heads is outstanding, but not too distant from a great set of performances from some great talent. Imagine if you had to face your fears, through the recitation and repetition of your dayjob, only to have the reality of disease kick in... reminds me of Bliss :) |
| User ReviewRedmond HA brilliantly under rated film.. Very dark, but quirky and strangely uplifting :-) |
| User ReviewJarryd Rhmmm, definitely original, but bit too boring and grim |
